With government silence and weak laws corruption is
becoming part and parcel of daily lives of Pakistani people. Due to political
influence, corruption, non merit and miss management profitable institutions
like Pakistan Railways, Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistan Steel Mills,
Banking sector and several others are taking their last breaths. According to
media news the Supreme Court was informed that the Pakistan International
Airlines had suffered a Rs119 billion loss last year alone. Only month ago national assembly was informed that Pakistan railways suffered 27bn rupees losses due to hike in diesel prices. After worse financial crises of its history Railway has closed several operations in different parts of country and now find, it hard to pay salaries and pensions to employees.
Despite
receiving 8.5bn bailout package from government, Pakistan Steel Millis is also
passing through worse stage of its history. In national assembly Minister of
State for Production accepted that Pakistan Steel Mills is giving worst
performance for which we are ashamed. True reality is that all appointments in
government institutions are politically motivated which is a main cause of
disaster. Most of the organizations heads belong to ruling political party and
these people consider themselves above all accountability and laws. Despite
worse performance of leading government institutions and serious charges of
corruption several heads of these organization are enjoying luxury lives and
taking huge salary packages which is very unfortunate. KHAWAJA UMER FAROOQ
